Eminent domain will only be used...

[You know the rest of the punch line.]

...as a last resort.

Crain's NY Business reports that Queens Borough President Helen Marshall now backs the Willets Point plan with a few caveats, including the old cliché, that the City "use eminent domain only as a last resort."

Last we checked, eminent domain is always "used as a last resort" when the threat of eminent domain doesn't work.
